 | | Screen Resolution Poll —Nick Crocco
|
| | | Hello. I was just wondering what everyone's screen resolution is. I'm re- designing my website and it would be good to know at what size I should optimize it for. Personaly, I use 1024 x 768 :-D ~Nick (URL) Site Design: (URL) (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) You should optimize it at 640 x 480 (the smallest screen resolution) so that everyone has the same experience viewing your site. (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | I disagree - anyone still using 640x480 at this point is a stubborn cuss unwilling to upgrade their computer equipment when it SHOULD be ;-) I still run 640x480, actually, but that's on a Libretto, I EXPECT to have to scroll. I run 1024x768, and (...) (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) I disagree here. Most people do not use 640x480 if they can help it. I hate viewing pages that are designed for 640x480, because I operate at 1280x1024, and a 640x480 website is really too small to view. I personally design my web sites to (...)

Otherwise, bitmapped pictures get stretched or squished -- in the case of 1280x1024, squished by about 7%. (...) CSS provides a great way to do this -- it has both (...)
